Don't know anything about that manuf., but I just order the following 
ASUS board from Monarch.  Supports up to an amd athlon 2600 xp+ 
processor, 3 gig of memory.  4x/8x agp.  At $68 with free shipping, Asus 
mb, it's a pretty good deal:

No rebate to mess with, and free shipping, makes it a pretty good deal 
in comparison to the board you're looking at, me thinks...
